Just like my Orks, I like to have a variety of skin tones present in my Gretchin models. Here are the recipes I have used. These are based stronly upon recipes found on eavy-archive.com, with a few tweaks for my personal preference. Enjoy!

Old School

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Death Guard Green and Ogryn Camo .
2. Shade with thin Castellan Green .
3. Shade more carefully with Vulkan Green .
4. If very deep or more hidden areas, shade selectively with 1:1 Vulkan Green and Rhinox Hide .
5. Highlight with Ogryn Camo .
6. Selectively highlight with Krieg Khaki .
7. Mix some White into your Krieg Khaki and apply very small/specular highlights.

Pale Grot

1. Basecoat with Nurgling Green .
2. Add general shading to the recesses. for this I thinned Skarsnik Green 1:2 with Lahmian Medium and applied it like a controlled wash.
3. Now mix your Skarsnik Green 1:1 with Coelia Greenshade and apply more controlled shading with a thin brush.
4. Now shade deep recesses that need more definition with Coelia Greenshade .
5. In very deep recesses, selectively shade with thinned Incubi Darkness .
6. Highlight with 1:1 Nurgling Green and Krieg Khaki .
7. Selectively highlight with Krieg Khaki .
8. Add very small/specular highlights with 1:1 Krieg Khaki and White .

Traditional Ork

1. Basecoat with a mix of Averland Sunset and Skarsnik Green . I make the ratio about 1:1, but add a little more Skarsnik Green , so it reads as green and not yellow.
2. Shade recesses with Biel-Tan Green . Use a combination of glazing and traditional recess shading.
3. Run small amounts of Coelia Greenshade into deep recesses with a fine brush. Mix in a little Contrast Medium if you want to make it easier to handle.
4. Add general highlights to the skin with Ogryn Camo .
5. How apply fine highlights with Krieg Khaki .
6. Add final selective and specular highlights of 1:1 Screaming Skull and White .

Optional Steps

I find giving certain areas of the skin a little warmth, adds a great deal to the skin. In addition to all the shading and highlighting, I do the following to inner ears, elbows, nose tips, knuckles and lips.

1. Mix the colour you used for a basecoat 1:1 with some Kislev Flesh . Glaze the areas with this mix, consider doing two passes to enhance the colour.
2. Highlight selectively with pure Kislev Flesh .
3. Mix some White into your Kislev Flesh and apply very small/specular highlights.
